[schumigirl]

To young mr Keisha.........

Hope it's a lovely day and a gorgeous meal! You deserve a lovely day out with one of your lovely sons.........

 

[schumigirl]

So.........

Had a lovely day out today with DH and DS.........went to our car showroom and I drove a similar car to what he is getting and loved it!! Lots of fun.........they both drove it yesterday......now picking it up in October as he ordered some extras that have to be added in factory......don't mind waiting a little longer, we will be back by time his car arrives.

Had lunch out, stopped off in a little pub in the middle of nowhere we had heard about. Only has around 8 tables, but boy was it worth it.......food and service were Fantastic.........really nice day.

Tonight is a quiet night in........bottle of wine and some tv........


Vicki, get yourself to NYC and see Wicked........it is amazing! Don't know anyone who hasn't loved it......

Sad to say that my mom passed away in 2009 after a long battle with that terrible disease so she's at rest now.

Aw, so sorry to hear you went thru this, it does affect the whole family

Lynne wow 90 & still exercising, good for your mom. Still no sign of a ripening tomato here, think too much rain all growing season. The plants looks absolutely prehistoric, never seen them so large but the fruit is small and green as green can be. Sigh.

Home is barraging me with phone calls every time mom sneezes now lol at least they know i have my eye on them & stepping it up.

Carole vroom vroom

DS stuck in traffic, may be a late dinner

They won't want to cross you Janet. Good that they know how well you're on the case so well on behalf of your mum.

Only be a good thing I suppose.

Love the Sound of your prehistoric looking tomato plant........lol.......we've done ok for tomatoes this year.......one of the few things I can grow without help.......although our jalapeño plant still looks good.......for now!


For some reason we ended up watching YouTube tonight and watching theme tunes of old tv shows from the 70's............Hart to Hart, Cannon, Kojak and a million other shows and things like good old Scooby Doo before they brought in the dreadful scrappy doo.........

Now about to watch something spooky.........not decided yet.........open a bottle of wine first I think........

Almost forgot today is middle DS's BD, glad he texted me to remind. Going out to dinner for the mom/son thing. Always interesting to see where my boys pick. I'm guessing italian or chinese.

Happy birthday to him! How old is the young tyke? (just kiddin'...I assume he isn't anywhere close to being a tyke). July is an awesome month for birthdays and new cars apparently, as there has been a rash of both on this thread...I feel lucky to be part of both factions.

Yes, many names have been attached to the project.. I believe Lea Michele was once tapped to play Elphaba.

Which would be interesting, since the actress that played her mother (Idina Menzel) on Glee was the original Elphaba...and they are closely compared to one another.

Probably a given for someone else.. many times I need to be hit with a 2x4 to get the point.

Chuckers, you sound like you might suffer from literalism...I know I have an irreversible case of the stuff.

[schumigirl]

Yep, it`s Friday again...........

Lazy morning........grocery shopping this afternoon........

Secretly bought loads of balloons and banners with Happy Retirement on them.......when DH goes into work for his leaving morning tea and lunch on Monday, will cover the whole front of the house downstairs and inside to with them.........he won`t be expecting that. Also planned a few friends coming round for the afternoon too as he`ll be home around 2ish. Will make some snacks and cocktails. Low key though as it`s a Monday afternoon. Will be having a proper night out later.

Almost lunchtime here.........

Happy Friday.........

 

[macraven]

Just low key?


He will be caught off base and surprises

 

[Lynne G]

Schumi, that sounds so nice to do for DH on his retirement. It is a milestone indeed. Congratulations to Tom. Stealthy Schumi.

It was a soupy and warm 78 degree foggy start to the morning. Not rain. Fog, and quite thick too. Thankfully, the rain is to hold off until around dinner time. I hope to be hunkered down making dinner when it arrives. Older one is going down the shore tonight. Hopefully the rain they have tonight will give them a better week-end. It's a Nor'easter, so the shore is to get 40 mph winds and 4 or more inches of rain. We get 2 to 4 by the time the storm leaves Saturday morning. The storm apparently likes our area, as it's a lingering one. Just means I'll be sleeping in tomorrow.

Ah, it is Friday. Thank goodness. It's so muggy inside too. No AC again, but at least the temperature outside is not that hot. It's an iced tea day.

Good Morning Mac. Hope you're in less pain now. Time for water? Tea convert? Any coffee in the house? and a funny:

he he, a bet Mac's cats got breakfast before her.

 

[macraven]

Cats got lucky today
Fed them at 5:45 this morning


No, stopped coffee last month
Lost the taste for it
Took up bottled water to replace it

Hope your weather improves Lynne
Weekend coming up

 

[macraven]

Schumi
You have to be the all time super planner for surprises

Be sure to take pics when Tom walks into the balloon/streamer house !!


Are you gonna jump out a cake naked for the added surprise!
Jk

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks Lynne.....yes I have been rather stealth like planning this little surprise......

Yep, this is the low key one mac, or as low key as I can manage..............and I hope he's surprised! He knows the night out with friends and colleagues has been arranged, but won't be expecting a few of our closest friends on Monday.......oh yes I will take pictures........or get someone to take pictures!



I am starving!!

Off to make turkey, Brie and cranberry toasted sandwiches for us today.....

 

[Lynne G]

oh so muggy - inside and outside. No sun to see either. Clouds to thicken as the day progresses. Hoping to have as lush a lunch as Schumi. Guess that means I need to eat out. Turkey and cheese sandwich again is not cutting it. Did I say it is muggy?

 

[macraven]

Well I take it as no jumping out of the cake then

A small group of dear friends will be a great for the surprise at home for Tom

 

[macraven]

Lynne we are due storms today

Kept thinking when to do my run to the store today

Heavy rains coming in before noon

 

[Lynne G]

Stay safe and dry Mac. Since coming in soon, hopefully you can get a quick store run in before any heavy rain. Tree is starting to turn it's leaves. Yeah, we'll get storms, but later today.

 

[Chuckers]

Which would be interesting, since the actress that played her mother (Idina Menzel) on Glee was the original Elphaba...and they are closely compared to one another.

I was going to say that, but I totally blanked on Idina Menzel's name... DUH.

Chuckers, you sound like you might suffer from literalism...I know I have an irreversible case of the stuff.

I suffer from not spotting the obvious as well. I have a friend who, when we would go out 'clubbing', would always turn to me and say, 'You do know that guy was hitting on you?' Inevitably, I would response 'Hitting on who, me? I don't think so.' (And sometimes I wonder why I'm single...)

 

[Chuckers]

Well, the roommates are settling in fine. The wife is starting to feel like she's not taking advantage of my generosity. We are going to try and introduce the cats again this weekend. My black cat, Claude, actually hissed at his 'sister' the other day.. something he's NEVER done. I think he's just confused. Their little orange tabby, Colby, likes to make his presence known every morning at 5 am or so..

This should be a fun weekend.. I am stocking up on band-aids and peroxide.

 

[Chuckers]

Ugh.. I am still trying to decide if I should keep the meal plan or get it refunded to a gift card so I can use the money where I want..

 

[Monykalyn]

very Humid here too. Supposed to be better this weekend with storms blowing through.
Hope you are able to pull of the surprise for hubby Schumi! My mom has stealthily been planning a surprise 70th bday for my dad-lots of family coming into town too. The challenge has been-since she got sick a few years ago (cancer/chemo-but clean bill again this year) he took over the checkbook. So she has been getting cash back and stashing it to pay for stuff (he reads the CC statements too). Only has one more week to keep the secret (she said she also feels bad for the small fibs she tells him about the extra cash).

Lil Roo this morning:gave all the chickens some meals worms. He apparently decided that he wanted more attention (about 10 minutes after I went in house) and crowed at bottom of stairs (outside older DD window LOL). When that didn't work he hopped up and preceeded to continue to crow at top of stairs (stamping his feet at me when i went to hush him). but didn't give in to the little monster-who again got vocal. Older DD had enough and went to get him-he settled right on down in her arms, tucked his head in and was ready for a nap! He has got us trained well doesn't he? Not sure how I am going to be able to give him up...Should have taken a picture of his smug lil beak when he got held like he wanted...

TGIF! We leave for ST Louis in one week and to Florida a week form tomorrow! Bout to lose my kid to the Mouse for 5 months...
